• Delete nothing found in a search to support even GNG. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:52, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
• Delete - Artist does not meet GNG or NARTIST at this time. After searching for reliable sources, I found on his gallery website that his first one person show was in 2018 (and it was at a commercial for-profit gallery, not a museum). So it may be TOOSOON. On the other hand, I did find that he is in this collection[https://artuk.org/discover/artists/hendley-kevin-b-1961], but that is not enough to meet the criteria for notability.

::{{ping|Netherzone}} that was a good find on the collection. I note that [https://www.arts.ac.uk/colleges/central-saint-martins/about-csm/museum-and-study-collection the site for the collection] says "We hold material created by CSM staff and students over the last one hundred years, and have collected from degree shows for the past two decades." which means that the criteria for inclusion in it is having a graduating show in the school.

::: Good research, {{ping|ThatMontrealIP}} That info puts the collection into context. It's not the same as a museum specifically selecting an artist's work for their collection. It seems that staff and former students can give a work to the collection. There is a big difference between these two types of acquisitions; that collection doesn't really count.
